Michigan Conservative Union

Michigan Conservative Union (founded in 1975 by Norman Hughes) is the oldest and largest effective grass roots conservative organization. We provide education around Michigan's stickiest political decisions and proposed legislation. MCU exists to change public policies by realigning public perceptions and beliefs with conservative principles and standards.

We ran the Reagan campaign, put into Michigan’s Constitution a Tax Limitation Amendment (the Headlee Amendment), provided talent and support for the two Reagan Administrations, and led the grassroots campaign to pass Freedom To Work, Michigan’s right to work laws, passing several key bills along the way. In 2016 we operated an independent campaign, making a million contacts in support of President Trump – particularly reaching into the Reagan “Democrats” we worked so successfully in the past.
